F1 2025 Qatar Grand Prix weather forecast – latest from Lusail
After a thrilling Las Vegas Grand Prix, the F1 circuit moves on to the Lusail International Circuit for the penultimate race of the 2025 season. Currently, there is a tight three-way battle for the driver’s championship title with Max Verstappen now only 24 points behind leader Lando Norris heading into the last two events. With 58 points available in the final two grands prix, the championship is still wide open.
The Qatar GP features a sprint race weekend, with two races scheduled, providing two opportunities for the drivers to earn valuable points. Norris has a chance to secure the title in Lusail if he outscores both his rivals by just two points over the weekend, potentially avoiding a dramatic season finale in Abu Dhabi.
The weather forecast looks promising for the sprint and main race in Qatar, with hot temperatures expected for FP1 and Sprint Qualifying on Friday. Conditions will remain dry throughout the weekend with temperatures around 25-26 degrees Celsius and moderate wind speeds. The lack of rain should provide a stable environment for the drivers to showcase their skills in this crucial stage of the season.
The Sprint Race, offering eight championship points to the winner, will take place on Saturday evening followed by Grand Prix Qualifying under clear night skies. As drivers gear up for the main event on Sunday, the cooler temperatures may pose a challenge in warming up the tires effectively. With the championship on the line, the Qatar Grand Prix promises to deliver excitement and suspense in the final stages of the 2025 F1 season.
